Bevis Frond New River Head Lyrics

Sun in his cups/cuffsDoesn't hear the water rushing
Down on the town
Stands in his beetle crushing
Boots, in his hand
A record by The Undecided
One out of one
Multiplied and then divided
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
Snakes in the grass
Sliding through the haunted gardens
Down in the park
Watching as the shadows harden
Left in the road
No-one ever realises
What you once were
Here in your new disguises
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed

Yeah I need a New River Head
Dead or asleep It doesn't really matter to me
Here in my world
Step inside and walk right through me
I don't even see
I'm so involved in what I'm doing
Out of my grip
I'm more concerned with rack or ruin
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
Time slips away
In this land of lakes and castles
Biding my time
I wrap it up in paper parcels
Deep in the ground
All your sorry sisters flowing
Woven in lead
With little specks of silver showing
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
